Since Ryohei-kun is known for Freee’s Pizza delivery C34 Laurel, that not many people don’t recognize he switch his car to AE86 Levin coupe. Also, he has transferred from Freee’s to Lowbrain a while ago.
His Corolla had been painted with R35 GTR gray by previous owner that is was quiet as a drifting car on track. But he saved painting until he finishes USDM conversion which imported by Bluelabel Auto Engineering. By the way, there was a funny story.
When Ryohei-kun took AE86 to Body shop Craft after USDM conversion, Kanagawa’s famous paint comedian Okata-san(Craft) and Takahashi-san(Owner of Craft) hated the USDM look and GT mirrors Ryohei kun installed. Okata-san said “There is no way I’m painting this car. Do not bring this unmatched color corolla till you put Levin face back!” But they not only painted but fixed all the dents on his car because deep inside they are really nice and love him.lol *However, Takahashi san took off the GT mirrors and welded the hole, that Ryohei kun had to buy another type of mirrors.lol
Funny fact that Lowbrain team color red isn’t really set, that Yassan uses Ferrari Rosso Corsa, Abeshin-san uses Fire truck red, and Ryohei kun uses R35 GTR Vibrant Red.
Most of the USDM Corolla guys in Japan put Kouki face, but Ryohei kun inspired by ROUGH WORLD Inagaki-san’s Corolla GTS that he picked Zenki face.
In the end, here is an annual track event where you can watch LOWBRAIN guys go nuts on track.
